I'm still pretty much a newb but I prefer the Great Long Bardiche over the Great Long Axe. The axe has 4 more speed but the Bardiche has
30 more length (along with also having the bonus to shields). I'm amazed by how many random kills I get against people who don't expect such a long range when they look at it.
You do have to be careful with the sideswings from this monster while teamates are around though.

My other favorite polearm has to be the Pike. Not only can you use it at a pretty early level but it is an amazing support weapon. It's another weapon, like the bardiche, that gets kills because people don't expect the range but to an even greater extent. The only problem is when you get in a 1v1 and they run up in your face. I haven't mastered the whole groundstab spin thing yet but I'm working on it.
Personally I think polearms are more fun and versatile than 2-handers so maybe you should try out some of the other types before making the switch to Boringsville (greatswords).
